According to Insidebitcoins, SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated at the Blockchain Association Policy Summit on Dec. 9 that the agency is preparing a bold regulatory push for the crypto market in 2026. He emphasized that the 'best is yet to come' and that the seeds planted in 2025 will begin to 'sprout and bear fruit.' Atkins also mentioned that his top priority for 2026 is a proposed 'innovation exemption' aimed at lowering compliance costs and fostering experimentation in the crypto and fintech sectors. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act, a key crypto market structure bill, faces delays due to partisan disagreements in Congress, with Polymarket traders giving it only a 7% chance of being signed into law this year.
